Read the first 6 Measurement Technology flashcards as text

  1. What is a closure ratio?

    Answer: Ratio of misclosure to total distance; acceptable typically 1:10,000+

    This expresses accuracy relative to total distance.

  2. What is the method of least squares?

    Answer: Minimizing sum of squared residuals to find best-fit survey values

    This optimally distributes errors across all measurements.

  3. What is the coordinate method for area?

    Answer: Using boundary point coordinates with cross-multiplication formula

    Mathematical formulas provide precise area from coordinates.

  4. What are control surveys?

    Answer: Establishing precisely located reference point networks for detailed surveys

    These create the reference framework for other surveys.

  5. What is construction staking?

    Answer: Placing stakes on ground to guide construction per design plans

    Design plans are transferred to the actual ground.

  6. What is RTK GNSS surveying?

    Answer: Real-time kinematic positioning providing centimeter accuracy using base-rover system

    This GNSS technique achieves very high accuracy in real time.
